Release date: October 19th
Radical art-pop sweethearts Beauty Sleep are Irish producer and songwriting duo Cheylene and Ryan.

Following on from their boisterous set at SXSW this year, 'Go' sees the band return with an exhilarating new sound.

Written on a stormy night, 'Go' is a song about empowerment and the thrill of moving on from the past.

Synth player and Singer Cheylene Murphy describes the song as 'Weird, loud and over the top’.

"We were in a really playful mood and that mischief snowballed into every part of creating 'Go'. We just went with whatever made us laugh, and it brought us right back to why music is wonderful - it’s just so much fun!”

Guitarist and Singer Ryan McGroarty said the song represents 'Not taking anything for granted.'

"Writing 'Go' felt like breaking free of any expectations or pressures that we put on ourselves. We kept asking ourselves what a 'Beauty Sleep song' sounded like, and that way of thinking just put restrictions on ourselves.

This song is about challenging insecurities, and doing what feels right!”

The track was self produced by the Derry duo and mixed by Ryan in Start Together Studio, featuring band members Aimee Williamson on bass and Ross Bickerstaff behind the kit.

Beauty Sleep's dreamy soundscapes and dizzying songwriting have drawn comparisons to Tame Impala, Orange Juice and Confidence Man.

They released their debut album ‘Be Kind' in 2019 which saw them shortlisted for Best Album at the Northern Irish Music Prize and garner national radio support from BBC Radio One, 6Music, and RTE2fm.

Beauty Sleep’s digital performances at Ireland Music Week and SXSW over the past number of months were the band's first since their riotous pre-pandemic summer, rampaging through European festivals such as The Great Escape, Electric Picnic and Other Voices.

Released 12th October 2021 via Ultimate Blends.

You believe in everything
all of the time
And you still wonder why
you can't tell truth from a lie

You're so sure and you're so certain
you've got it right
And doing nothing is suicide
It's all dark and you've seen the light

What's the hurry about?
Life can be long
What do you worry about
when there's nothing wrong?

You know that you're a little non-committal
but maybe you might
finish one thing, give it a try
But then again, hard to decide 

You know that thing that seems to happen
while you're making plans?
You don't get to do it over again
Take it slow, walk to the end

What's the hurry about?
Life can be long
What do you worry about
when there's nothing wrong?
Is the dream all gone
or did you have it all along?
You're not far from home now

You're so sad and
you can't let go of it
You make it hard, always
But you won't give up now so

What's the hurry about?
Life can be long
What do you worry about
when there's nothing wrong?
Is the dream all gone
or did you have it all along?
You're not far from home
You had it all along
You're not far from home now
